The Planning and Organizing Committees of the 8th DEAF HISTORY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE and its host, the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf, wish to announce the official launch of the conference website at www.dhiconference2012.ca/. The website is readable in two different languages, English and French, because Canada is constitutionally bilingual.

This triennial event will take place in Toronto, Canada from July 24th to 29th, 2012. The conference theme is TELLING DEAF LIVES: Biographies and Autobiographies.

You can now start planning and adjusting your commitments, travel itineraries and vacation to attend this most anticipated conference. Remember to register early to avoid any disappointment. Registration will behandled on a first-come, first- served basis.

Please share this announcement with your friends, colleagues and others around the world who might be interested in attending and/or presenting a paper at the conference.
